FWS Removes Kirtland's Warbler From Endangered Species List

The Fish and Wildlife Service is removing the Kirtland’s warbler (Setophaga kirtlandii), a migrant songbird that breeds in northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario, from the Endangered Species List, it said in a final rule. Threats to the species have been "eliminated or reduced to the point where it no longer meets the definition of an endangered species or a threatened species," FWS said. The delisting takes effect Nov. 8.
